Bajwa said in an exclusive interview with the channel that the Indian hockey team would tour Pakistan at the end of this year just before the Men’s Hockey Champions Trophy.

He said that the Indian hockey tour to Pakistan was being delayed due to political tensions between both nations, but after the ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final on March 30, the relations between the two countries were improving.

Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani had visited India to watch the much-awaited Indo-Pak semi-final World Cup clash in Mohali on the invitation of his Indian counterpart Dr Manmohan Singh.

Bajwa further said that the Pakistan hockey team could also visit India for a series. (ANI)
